Gremvest's page

ditto! :)

Gremvest somberly pats Patrick on the shoulder, and texts him the Skittermander life coach's contact info. "Here ya go. Giver a call. She really cares about people, and she write great character letters for the judge, for example, if ya might have a child support arrearage lien case ya gotta deal wit, just as an example," he says with his toothy Vesk smile.

Yeah that was great, thank you everyone. I had a lot of fun. Thank you XperimentalDM for GMing!

"Ya can't handle a pretty shrink, huh? I've gone through a lot of therapists, I can make some recommendations if ya like. This one Skittermander life coach I got to know really helped me on my journey, helped me get some focus, learn interspection. She wasn't particularly pretty, so you should be okay."

Gremvest laughs happily. "I avoid the sauce these days, but curling up with a book? Snoozerific. You guys need more music in your lives! So many great clubs and venues on Absalom Station, I'll give ya a tour. Khendai and Grump too. Alcohol optional."

"Best place I ever worked!" Gremvest reassures her. "But I can understand if ya wanna take it slow before a new commitment. I resemble that. Anyhow, you at least gotta spend some time checking out Absalom Station. Ya ever been there before? Lots goin' on."

"Good job, team!" Gremvest shouts as he lets his chains start to cool down. He replenishes the petrol supply and idly looks around this large chamber.

His head whipping back and forth trying to keep an eye on this slippery undead spellchucker, Gremvest keeps chasing Dortay up the ziggurat. He positions himself such that he is adjacent to Dortay and over 10 feet away from Patrick, then lets loose a 10-foot-radius Supernova! Reflex DC 19 to halve the fire damage, and then Gremvest is no longer attuned.

SUPERNOVA: 11d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 6, 6, 1, 6, 6, 2) + 2 = 52

Whoops sorry, I just realized that I typed in the rolls wrong for damage, too late to edit my post, so trying again... I apologize for the confusion.
Fire damage with Plasma Sheath bonus, if 1st attack lands:: 2d8 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 18 + 5 = 26
Fire damage with Plasma Sheath bonus, if 2nd attack lands:: 2d8 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4) + 18 + 5 = 29

Still at Photon Attunement 3

Reflex saving throw with Spellbane bonus: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 = 29

With that roll and the Constructive Interference Revelation, Gremvest suffers 8 electricity damage.

I assume that teleport-and-lightning trick did not provoke an opportunity attack, but please lemme know if otherwise.

With Haste still going on him, Gremvest's movement is 80' giving him ample speed to hustle over the southeast corner of the ziggurat and position himself for a flanking maneuver with his pal Grump.

"Woohoo Grump! We got her surrounded! Give up lady, yer under arrest!"

First attack burning chains with flanking & Flashing Strikes vs EAC: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 - 3 + 2 = 23
Second attack burning chains with flanking & Flashing Strikes vs EAC: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 3 + 2 = 33

Fire damage with Plasma Sheath bonus, if 1st attack lands: 1d20 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 5 = 27
Fire damage with Plasma Sheath bonus, if 2nd attack lands: 1d20 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 5 = 35

Willpower: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Willpower save 2nd try with Improved Iron Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

+2 insight bonus on this save if Dortay was using a spell, because I have Spellbane feat.

Another +2 circumstance bonus from Cerebral Countermeasures if this is a mind-affecting effect.

Photon attunement 3.

Assuming he saved, Gremvest activates Plasma Sheath as a move action, then as a standard action, uses Solar Acceleration to do a full attack against Dortay plus Haste himself plus Grump & Patrick for 10 rounds.

First attack holy ghost killer opportunistic malebranche-class burning chains vs EAC: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 16 - 3 = 22
Second attack holy ghost killer opportunistic malebranche-class burning chains vs EAC: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 16 - 3 = 21
fire damage if first attack hit: 2d8 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (2, 5) + 18 + 5 = 30
fire damage if second attack hit: 2d8 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (1, 6) + 18 + 5 = 30

Finally, if what Dortay did was cast a spell, Gremvest probably should have gotten an opportunity attack because his weapon has reach. If an opportunity attack was triggered, here it is:

Opportunity attack holy ghost killer OPPORTUNISITC malebranche-class burning chains vs EAC: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 16 + 2 = 35
fire damage if opportunity attack hit: 2d8 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (7, 4) + 18 + 3 = 32

Photon attunement 2

Willpower save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

2nd Try with Improved Iron Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Haste is negated, but Gremvest wouldn't mention that to anyone, because he doesn't want the enemy to know her magic worked on him, and likewise, he doesn't want to let down Patrick who went to all the trouble of casting Haste in the first place.

Gremvest's rapid pace slackens, but only a wee bit, and he remains undaunted. "I see her guys! She poofed over dere, behind this pyramid," Gremvest advises the party. Gremvest hustles down the stairs toward Dortay and swings at her with his fiery chains.

Holy ghost killer opportunistic malebranche-class burning chains vs EAC: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

fire damage if that hits: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (8, 5) + 18 = 31

Photon attunement 1

"Thank ya, Patrick!" Gremvest shouts as he feels the power of Haste flow through his augmented limbs. Now with a speed of 80, he runs out of the weird sparkly swarm and straight at Dortay! He closes the distance, and with Haste and Flashing Strikes, makes a full attack while belting out the tune of a Vesk battle hymn, but with rock ballad themes, and new lyrics:

"Dortay Van Corbosi
You're way too bossy,
y'ain't been a kind host,
I don't like yer games,
so it's time to roast,
an' taste my flames!"

Holy ghost killer opportunistic malebranche-class burning chains: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 16 - 3 = 27
Holy ghost killer opportunistic malebranche-class burning chains: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 16 - 3 = 19
fire damage if first strike hits: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (2, 1) + 18 = 21
fire damage if second strike hits: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (5, 1) + 18 = 24

From his Mysticism check, what's the swarm's hit points?

Reminder: his weapon is holy, so should bypass DR/good and evil resistance of evil undead, such as her.

Mysticism to identify Gem Cloud: 1d20 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (18) + (1) + 5 = 24
Mysticism to identify Dortay: 1d20 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + (1) + 5 = 10
How high up is Dortay? Are the stairs up to Dortay difficult terrain?

((Gremvest's token is in a great spot for him. He's happy to take point and start moving forward.... but I have the feeling someone's gonna ask for initiative rolls any second :) ))

Fiery chains at the ready, Gremvest stands hip-to-shoulder with Grump and Benoit. He looks up at the blood-red pyramid structure. "This place looks.... pretty horrible. Like horror holovid kinda stuff, am I right?" he whispers, looking around for any devil-worshippers or spawn of Satan.

Gremvest joins Benoit and TEC-9 heading up the staircase.

"Yes please, give us all dat stuff," Gremvest replies good-naturedly.

Gremvest happily rejoins the team and reports on what he found. Pointing at the concealed corridor, the Vesk Solarian reports, "Hey everybody, I found a quicker route through there if we need to beat feet and hightail it outta here."

Gremvest rejoins the bulk of the team in the grassy area, and starts making his way up the staircase, smoldering devil-chains at the ready.

Gremvest investigates the hidden hallway, tries to see if he can find a linkup to the prior room with the holotable.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

(If that roll fails and no one objects, he'll take 20 to try to find the door. We might really want that kind of flexibility if we end up fleeing for our lives...)

"More computers over here," Gremvest informs the party. He'll scan this room for anything of interest.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Gremvest peeks into the archway to the west.

Gremvest marches up the stairs with Benoit and his drone.

Gremvest looks around this grassy room. He flares his nostrils in an effort to sense anything smell-wise too.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Wiping crumbs off his spiky maw, Gremvest hustles to join the team in the big, grassy room.

Impressed by all this fancy, high-tech battery installation shtuff, Gremvest nods along as though he fully understands the situation. "Great job team," he says.

Gremvest eats a ration contentedly... pockets another for later.

"Employee of the Month? Good for you," Gremvest says to Khendai as he walks past her, down the stairs, and into the room to the southwest. Wondering whether that's food he's seeing, he approaches. His Vesk tummy rumbles a bit.

Gremvest reignites his flaming weapon and strolls into the room...

Gremvest joins Benoit and TEC-9 in checking out the archway to the southeast.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

"Uh, hi, Khendai. I gotta tell ya, this is a funny way to meet someone. Okay, why doncha tell us more about this Dortay Vandelay person. What kinda creature are they, and what should we know before we end up engagin' with 'em in mortal combat?"

A tear seems to form in the corner of Gremvest's eye. Deflated, he stammers, "But... but.... wha about my supernova?"

Then he shrugs, and glows a little less, as his photon attunement fades.

"Okay lady. What's your name, and what's your story?" Meanwhile, Gremvest turns off his weapon and refills the petrol supply.

Photon Attunement 2

"Woowee! Now yer talkin' Benoit! Oh watch out there Grump for them flames. They ain't meant for you buddy, they're meant for her, I promise ya," Gremvest shouts over the roar of flames pouring out of his whirling spiked chains, as he does his utmost to avoid friendly, er, fire.

"Ma'am, um, what kind of species are you, if you don't mind me askin'?" he adds while trying to strike her in the facial region.

Mysticism with Sidereal Influence bonus: 1d20 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (12) + (4) + 5 = 21

First Attack with holy ghost killer opportunistic malebranche-class burning chains with Flashing Strikes & Plasma Sheath vs. EAC: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 3 = 25

Second Attack with holy ghost killer opportunistic malebranche-class burning chains with Flashing Strikes & Plasma Sheath vs. EAC: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 16 - 3 = 32

Fire Damage if her FLANKED EAC is 25 or less: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (8, 8) + 18 = 34

Fire Damage if her FLANKED EAC is 32 or less: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (7, 3) + 18 = 28

"Ouch!" Gremvest barks with surprise. "Watch out for her sword!" ((Gremvest's armor has the "deflective reinforcement" upgrade, granting him Damage Reduction 5/-, so he took 21 damage from that hit, and I've updated his Stamina Points as reflected above.))

Distracted by the artwork, Gremvest doesn't even notice when the other Starfinders head east. When he hears the blast of the screamer grenade go off, he stirs from his distraction. "Awwww yeah, that's my cue," he growls. The Vesk Solarian Photon Attunes 1, then hustles toward the action! With a base speed of 50', he spends the round double-moving to get right up next to this rude blue so-and-so! "Yer under arrest!" he hollers at her. Gremvest still has those fiery chains in his hands, threatening a 10' radius around him.

Gremvest will inspect the artwork, and keep a lookout while Benoit computerizes the situation.

Gremvest starts walking past the sphinx in order to keep moving into the complex. "Okay, thank you for the tip, Miss Neshti. We'll, uh, reconnect wit ya from deeper within. Thanks again for all your... help."

"Thank you," Gremvest says to the sphinx. "Don't mind if I do." He snaps some photos. "Yeah, did you know there's a dead Ysoki out front?"

Culture re Corbosis: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

"Huh, the statue? Oh wait, is she not a statue? Uh yeah, you bet, Grump. I wit ya." He runs one scaled hand over his facial spikes, smoothing them a bit into place. He will step closer to the sphinx and address her. "Greetings, and hello! I am Gremvest, of the band Coronal Mass. This is Grump, Benoit, and Patrick. Nice place ya got here, it feels very homey. Hey what kind of song can I play for you?" He deactivates his fiery weapon from Hell, and instead pulls out his musical instrument, starts strumming a friendly tune.... he hopes.

How high are ceilings in this building? When I start fooling around with Gravity Boost, this data point often becomes very relevant! :)

A musician, Gremvest cannot help but be interested in the hologram of the old-timey musical performance theatre. He approaches that hologram and inspects in with a smile on his reptilian face. "Would ya look at that. Is this a model of sumthin from real life somewhere?" he wonders aloud.

"Ah, that's a shame, what a pitiful sight. I kinda got a soft spot for these little Ysoki guys," Gremvest grumbles as he proceeds through the archway to the north. He looks up at the ceilings, trying to gauge how high they are.

"Self-denial and spurtyul cleanliness leads to more money? Huh, like wise saving habits, that sort of thing? I gotta say, meditation does a lot for me, made me a better Vesk." As he watches the symbols depress and the door open, Gremvest pats the professor on the back. "Good job, buddy." He activates his holy ghost killer opportunistic malebranche-class burning chains with a smile. His weapon smells like brimstone and glows red hot. With a fangy Vesk smile, he walks through the door.

I don't have straight up flying, but I have Jump Jets and Gravity Boost, so I usually can manage. I do have a bunch of unspent credits (~24k) if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks

With a roar like a lion, Gremvest laughs happily at Benoit's jest. "Not 100% true. Doncha know, Dwarf flesh is best when fricasseed! Ya know I kid, I'd never eat you, man. I can't say that about everyone Vesk Prime, but I'll keep ya guys safe, doncha worry."

He kisses his guitar pick, and starts tooling around with his musical instrument.

"Never underestimate the power of rock'n'roll.... it literally saved my life!" Gremvest says with a happy laugh. "And yeah Professor, me n' you, I'm happy to give you a tour of the homeland. I know where all the good eats are. Okay, how is this planetoid we're gonna be checking out, how is this place for breathing and stuff?" He starts fiddling with his space-age armor and checking his environmental controls. He scans the vidscreens for signs of fauna.

Gremvest nods along as the professor speaks, pretending he is following along and understanding. He finds himself humming along to a Coronal Mass classic rock hit, but real quietlike.

"That sounds crazy, man. I dint know you Humans came from a planet what vanished. Bummer for you. Say what you want about us Vesk, we still know where Vesk Prime is! Am I right? But really, maybe we should put on like an aid benefit concert or sumthin to find yer missing homeworld."

Through the viewports, he looks at the pyramid. "That big triangle buildin' looks cool. I bet there's some good loot in there... er, I mean, arkeylogical stuff for the museums."

Culture: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

((Ha! Edit based on that Culture check: "Uh wait a minute, yeah, I remember about that Golarian planet now. I did know that. I'm on the path to recovery, some things slip my mind. What can I say? They don't send me on these missions to remember stuff. Where's some Jinsuls for me to smash?!"))

Gremvest is a handsome, athletically-built Vesk in his 40s, with a tribal sunburst tattoo around his left eye. Something about him looks a bit familiar; maybe he’s a has-been celebrity? Wearing an ecru thrift-store duster, he seems to glow slightly. He introduces himself in a self-deprecating, friendly sort of way.

He chuckles at Benoit's line about chicken excrement, nodding along at the sentiment.

"Nah, we ain't dying today," the Vesk says amicably in a deep, gravelly voice. "I got child support arrears I gotta pay, so dying ain't an option, just ask my exes," he adds with a chuckle while fiddling with what appears to be a worn guitar pick.

"By the way, what's Old Golarun?" the Vesk says with genuine curiosity while strumming his Vesk guitar-like musical instrument.

FYI, my stats showing are very out of date, I will update later today. Gremvest is level 10

My character is very hard to kill, so ready to play, even with a small force.

Oh you're brave, daring a GM like that! ;)
